Entertainment Weekly confirmed the other day that Marvel and Disney Animation are teaming up to adapt Big Hero 6 as an animated feature.

For those that aren’t familiar, Big Hero 6 is Japan’s government-sponsored superhero team that once counted Silver Samurai and Sunfire among its members. The current lineup is Hiro Takachiho, Baymax, Honey Lemon, GoGo Tomago, Wasabi No-Ginger and Fredzilla. The team most recently appeared last month in the Amazing-Spider Man:Ends of the Earth one-shot.

Some may be wondering why Marvel and Disney would choose one of Marvel’s more obscure properties for an animated feature. But a much bigger question needs to be asked--will Matman and Brian be in the movie?

For those that don’t remember, artist David Nakayama drrew the Secret Identity crew into the 2008 miniseries, in a scene where the heroes are giving a pep talk to the high school football team.

We will be anxiously awaiting the release of this one, for more than one reason! You can get the full history of Big Hero 6 over on Marvel’s Wiki.
